My 2005 ford focus has broken and shorted wires on the wiring harness for the back hatch in my station wagon. When i turn on the ignition or the headlights the back hatch opens inadvertently. The wires are shorted to the hatch release solenoid. The hatch can open on the freeway. My local ford dealer refused to fix the problem. This is a recurring problem with the ford focus. Needs safety recall. *tr
